XSX will also cost $500. Both will retail for the same price. XSX being slight more powerful doesn't make Sony need to underprice the PS5 price from the XSX at all. |
XSX cost more when you count the size of the APU and the amount of CU, it has around 30% more capacitor on top of that it has bigger RAM bandwidth and bigger SSD capacity. XSX are were design to be expensive, while PS5 were intended to be cost less aiming to be closer to 399 USD or closer to that .
The problem is the RAM and Nand is expensive due to trade war between Japan and South Korea and trade war between US and China on top of that Corona virus that cut every memory production and supply.
What make PS5 and XSX close in raw power is because Sony able to overclocked the APU very high and close the gap. Dual sense controller also will be expensive on Sony side but it's not that expensive when you compared to dual mother board inside XSX and the tower designs will be more expensive on Microsoft side.
On top of that Microsoft are planning to have Xbox Series S A.K.A lockhart as a cheaper version. So XSX will be above PS5 in price while Lockhart will be less then PS5
